Teri,

If the exercise you do is "painful," don't do it. I find that the first few minutes are uncomfortable as everything gets moving again, but then feels better. Just listen to your body. Exercise helps SOOOOOOOOOO much with lowering inflammation and pain for me.

Monday: 2 1/2 hip hop dance videos....5500 steps for the day
Tuesday: 2 videos......4800 steps
Wednesday: Big grocery shopping day.....5000 steps total

Lon: There is no actual hipping or hopping going on! lol. I just do my best and pray no one is watching!
